So we get a slighty Kutner based storyline with a touch of 13 and a MASSIVE FOREMAN story. Interesting episode I thought, many were dissapointed and bored by it, but I found it nice to be focusing to other characters rather than the "mains". Wow, the title and patient could have never been more fitting to every character's problems in this episode.

The patient, I forget her name, was emacinpated and now lives on her own, supporting herself, facing all of her problems by herself. This applies in someway to all of the characters involved in this episode (well had a major part): House, Foreman, 13 and Kutner.

Wilson was forcing House to for once try to figure his feelings out on his own. He wasn't going to intrude on House's thinking, and rather than give his opinion about the whole Cuddy matter, he was going to let House wrap his own head around it and figure out what he wanted to do by himself. Like the patient, House has to discover this path by himself.

Foreman wants to become more independent from House and prove he's more than House's lackey who couldn't get away. He desperatly wants to be "emancipated" from House so that he can have a different label and perhaps be more respected as a doctor.

Kutner wanted to connect with a patient who he thought had similar problems to him, but the patient lied about everything. Therefore leaving Kutner on his own, having to deal with his issues alone.

13's problem this week was that she wouldn't get involved personally with her patients. She wouldn't share information about herself and wished to remain "emancipated" or independent from her patients. TAUB OWNS MY SOUL!!!

So episode discussion time, what did you think? Did you like it? What scenes did you like, its a discussion people!
